Disco Elysium
With Featured Guest
Ⲋⲣⲉⲅⳋ Ⲋⲛⲇⲕⲉ
The first edition came out in 2019, but The "Final Cut" of Disco Elysium was developed and self published by "ZA/UM Studio." It was released for PlayStation on March 30th, 2021 with all other platforms' versions coming out in October of that same year.
Disco Elysium is a top down semi-isometric, Point-and-Click, narrative RPG with simple puzzles. You play as the drunk detective after a huge weekend bender doing everything to avoid your job. Waking up with your mind basically wiped clean from the booze, you get to choose how to play your character and how to approach solving the case! You were sent to solve a murder/hanging and due to your incompetence, the body has been hanging for 7 days. Time to get sleuthing!
When Sperg Snake pitched me this game I had no idea what to expect from it. I checked it out on steam and fell in love with the art style immediately. After I watched half the trailer and I saw it was a story based on choice, I was sold. I'll say this game was astonishing from front to back.
The final cut version of the game is fully professionally voice acted and at all times the writing and the acting had me laughing and sometimes crying. Your character is mentally unwell and is constantly debating and talking to himself and even his own clothing. Battling for who and what will come out of your mouth. Its told from the perspective of all the quirks and personality traits of your detective. Such as Shivers, the power to deduce things almost anywhere just based on "Vibes." Use your own savoir faire to gain advantage over your peers and those around you while you crawl the city in the late night, looking for any and all leads on the case.
We will definitely spoil the game as we talk about it, so if you wanna experience this one of a kind journey for yourself, do so before listening!!

Guardians of the Galaxy
With Featured Guest
The Irishman “Hughezy”
Released on October 26, 2021, Guardians of the Galaxy was developed by Eidos-Montreal and published by Square Enix after the arguable failure of the Avengers game from the previous year. This studio made the famous Deus Ex series so it's without doubt they have the talent to pull together another great game.
Guardians' is a third person action shooter story game with a heavy focus on using and commanding your squad of Rocket, Groot, Gamora, and Drax. Each of them have their own uses and special abilities that you can command as the leader Starlord. You can choose to combine them in exciting ways forcing your enemies to react to your style during the combat sections as well as instructing your team to help you during the "puzzles."
The game does well at mixing its elements of story telling, platforming, puzzle solving, and of course the combat. I never felt like the game overstayed its welcome or that any one segement was too long, too hard, or too annoying. There are so many fun areas to play in and spend time looking around taking in the breathtaking graphical scenary.
The game for me was a roller coaster, and honestly, this game surprised the hell out of me. I was expecting the typical 2020 era Marvel schlop. But I was totally shocked that it was a total blast from the beginning scene until the credits rolled twice!
Thanks Hughezy for suggesting it and coming back on for another awesome episode.

Annie and Dillon are back for the first ever back to back game in a series. This episode we tackle Arkham City. Debatably the best in the series. It expands everything from the first game and turns it up to level 10. The gameplay is still the beat-`em-up, puzzle platformer, with a great story. But this time it add the element of free roam and tons of side quests. Oh, and you can play as Catwoman ;D
